THE PREDICTION
Ulster suffered their first defeat of the new season as they lost a combative and competitive 22-29 match at home to French giants Toulouse, and they will be chomping at the bit to make amends here. That spells even more trouble for Gloucester, who shipped 55 points away to Lyon on Sunday in a poor performance in spite of their hosts’ excellent form. Points difference sees Gloucester rooted to the bottom of Pool B and they should remain there as their vengeful visitors can cover -10 here.
